For a limited time, we’ve dropped the price on the Epson MovieMate 62. This little projector comes with a built-in DVD player and speakers. It’s super-bright at 2,000 lumens. And for a limited time it’s only $499!

At 1/4 HD resolution, the Epson MovieMate 62 won’t deliver the same quality image as its bigger brothers the Epson HC 8700 UB or the Epson HC 8350. This projector is more your go-anywhere-and-host-an-impromptu-move-night model. We recommend it for backyard theater, house of worship kids’ playrooms or anywhere else you want to deliver a big, bright (and affordable!) image. With the Epson MovieMate 62, you get images up to 12 times the size of a puny 40″ TV at a fraction of the price.

Sports nuts need a bright, high-def projector that can capture every minute of the game. With a 120Hz refresh rate, the 1800-lumen LG CF181D handles fast-motion scenes, like a receiver sprinting down the sideline or a game-changing interception, with ease. Sports nuts will have such a great view of the game; they’ll think they’re there.

True film buffs want a projector that delivers the most cinema-like viewing experience. With advanced technology and an incredible contrast ratio of 200,000:1, the 1600-lumen Epson HC 8700 UB brings the movie theater to the living room. The projector’s 1080p D7 chip, C2FineTM technology and 3LCD display provides deep, rich blacks and exceptionally sharp details. The film buff in your life will appreciate the Epson’s anamorphic (stretch) mode, which displays 2.40:1 cinemascope content in its original format and eliminates the annoying black bars around widescreen movies. The feature-rich Epson HC 8700 UB raises the bar for home theater entertainment.

Take it outside with the Vivitek H1081. At 2000-lumens, this projector provides dazzling 1080p images day or night, inside and out. Weighing less than 8 pounds and capable of throwing a 300-inch image, the Vivitek H1081 will entertain the entire neighborhood.

Gamer extraordinaires have the hottest games, the newest consoles and the latest cheats. But what’s the point of all that if they’re playing on a dinky 32″ TV? For total immersion, gamers need a bright larger-than-life display, like the crystal clear 120″ image provided by the 2000-lumen Hitachi CP-DW10N. The 8-lb short-throw CP-DW10N features built-in 10W speakers and a full host of inputs, making it the perfect portable all-in-one gaming projector.

Those unsightly black cables running from the cable box to the projector in the next room are a serious design no-no. Clean it up with OwLink’s HD Fiber Optic Connectivity System. The kit includes a crystal clear “fishing line” multimode fiber optical cable that can transmit uncompressed digital video and audio up to 1,000 feet. Say goodbye to that cable nest!

The PK301’s MicroSD card slot allows for up to 16GB of memory, plenty of room for movies, photos and home videos. Your favorite gadget guru will love how this projector is rechargeable, fits in a pocket and can make a ‘scene’ anywhere.
